The gardens, pool and friendly staff make this a great place to relax. Buses to David entre and other destinations, including Frontera and a minute away. If staying for longer, book just one night online though, as thy charge more!

“ Cool jungle courtyard ”

Reviewed Aug 27, 2013

Very basic private rooms. The jungle courtyard and pool out the back is cool, as is the simple jungle bar and $1 beers. Would stay here again for the outdoors areas but the room and bathrooms were nothing special. The cheap seafood restaurant across the road from the hostel was fantastic, try the whole fish!

... But we managed to flag down a taxi and still make it to the airport with plenty of time. The flight was nice, a quick 35 minutes, and then we got into PC. Back to the city busyness! Especially with all of the holiday shoppers it was a bit nuts! We got checked into our room at the Baru Lodge, and then walked around the city a bit. Eventually we got to quite a ritzy mall but still decided to go in and have some dinner. Ordering subway can be hard enough in english, nevermind ...

... tower in Panama is at the top of that volcano as I have never seen so much communication equipment it one place. To add to the fun we also felt the aftershock of an earthquake that occurred while we were hiking on the summit. The initial quake measured 6.8 on the Richter scale and was centred about. 300km south of where we are. It happened at around 01:30 so we didn't really notice it as we were hiking in the dark but once someone mentioned it I recall having a weird feeling ...

... Found, we all spent the next day relaxing and hanging out, not doing much. Patrick, the other owner of Lost and Found showed up that day, so Erich finally got to meet his Frat Brother. That night we all had a great time, playing foosball and having some drinks, as it was our last night as a group of four. Kathrin would be heading home within the week, and Erich and I were heading back to Bocas for a while before coming back to Lost and ...

... homes on the hill and they looked similiar to the buildings we were shown on the coffee tour. They looked so dark inside with lots of rooms in what looks like a relatively small concrete cube.

This is what happens in Boquete.... you seek out to do just one thing like hike to a waterfall but you end up seeing so much more than expected! This hike would have been nice enough but now it has to be my favourite as the Quetzal completely stole the show!

... there are tons of things to do in the rainforest. Lost and Found has managed to maintain a lot of trails through the mountains, and has even put together a treasure hunt that is a good starting point to get familiar with the area. Aside from the treasure hunt, there are many other self guided hikes/tours you can do, like visiting the old growth forest or the river, going to the river canyon in Gualaca, checking out the Celestine Waterfall, ...
